WASHINGTON - Hillary Clinton stepped out of the shadows tonight at an award ceremony held to recognize leaders from around the world who worked to improve the plight of women and featuring such guests as Nicholas Kristof and Vice President Joe Biden.

Though neither Biden nor Clinton dropped any hints about future ambitions, a group of about 30 people gathered outside the Kennedy Center to urge Clinton to run for president in 2016.

The supporters and former campaign volunteers held signs imprinted with "Ready for Hillary," and some homemade signs reading things like "Power to the Pantsuit 2016," and "Hell Yea Hillary." They waved and shouted "2016 Hillary" as cars honked pulling into the Clinton event at the Kennedy Center this evening.

The rally was organized by Ready for Hillary, a super PAC that launched recently and declared itself set to go should Clinton decide to run in the 2016 presidential campaign. Word was put out on local college campuses, Facebook as well as the super Pac's new website.

Supporters out tonight predicted that if Clinton runs, in their opinion, she will win the White House.

"Hillary is such a leader. I mean it's in her DNA she can't get rid of it," Black said. "The issues of my lifetime are the issues that she has spent her lifetime addressing, and one of the things that those of us who formed this organization believe is that she has the stamina, the wisdom, the shrewdness, the toughness and the hugest heart that this job requires."

Clinton's next speaking engagement is just days away. On Friday she is scheduled to address the Daily Beast's Women in the World Summit in New York.

I don’t think she will have the chops to run in 16—she is old hat—things are coming that will make the old guard—the Clintons, Bushes, etc.. all a footnote in history. And as for Obama he will be in the ashcan of history right next to Nixon.
A new breed of people are coming from left, right and center. She will go home—write a book and serve on committees—and be a good grandmother. Now her daughter my try to run for something...

Perhaps....but she may very well be setting the stage for who she will support then....Hitlary does nothing that doesn’t ‘serve’ her in one way or another...and I fully believe that......she knows the game quite well by now...especially after BO broad-sided her.

I don’t think more than 5 percent of the citizens of the United States even know what that is. I asked a few and they didn’t even know a thing about it. I think it was NOT covered correctly at all. That doesn’t mean that she will win a Presidency but if she announces and manages to get the nomination than we better have a candidate that is exceptional to try and beat her.
